2012 Objectives
First, we must field a competent, ready force. We will accomplish this by achieving and maintaining the required personnel, equipment, training and resourcing levels that ensure our success. Additionally, we must value and maintain our international partnerships.
Second, the Minnesota National Guard must achieve and maintain an optimal force structure for our organization. We will continually assess and evaluate the right mix of people and equipment to leverage our capabilities while balancing the ideal composition for current and anticipated missions. In achieving the optimal force structure, we will maintain the capabilities of our two Air National Guard wings: the 133rd Airlift Wing and the 148th Fighter Wing.
The third priority is to mitigate the emerging threats in the area of cyber security and response. At our level, the focus is coordinating efforts to assist civil authorities in the event of a large-scale failure of, or an attack on, one of Minnesota’s many vital systems. We must defend the Minnesota National Guard network and be able to assist civil authorities in the event that an essential system is degraded. The Minnesota National Guard is committed to partnering with federal, state and local agencies in order to mitigate cyber-events from occurring, while ensuring continuity of government operations.
First, we will develop a sustainable infrastructure. The Minnesota National Guard operates in 63 communities throughout our state and it is crucial that we optimize the physical capabilities at each location. This enables us to facilitate our mission requirements while enhancing partnerships throughout the communities in which we serve. Looking ahead, it is of utmost importance that we continue to build our environmental programs and improve the sustainability of our facilities. Deliberate efforts to reduce energy consumption, effectively manage natural resources and minimize waste streams are important so that we ensure our ability to sustain our capabilities into the future and remain good stewards of our limited resources and the environment.
Second, the ultimate objective of Beyond the Yellow Ribbon is to improve the wellness and resiliency of Servicemembers, their employers and military family members. We will do this by building and maintaining partnerships with civilian and governmental agencies and leveraging those relationships in providing the best service, training and support to our Servicemembers and military families. Finally, we will increase the military Servicemember’s and family’s awareness of federal, state and local resources available to them during periods of deployment and reintegration.
The final priority is the Minnesota National Guard’s commitment to diversify the force. We are committed to fostering an environment that truly represents the demographics of the communities in which we serve. We must reflect those whom we lead.
